    Sounds like maybe a cyst? Can you take a picture?

    Has your dog been "chipped", in case it ever gets lost? It may be coming out. Your description fits.

    See your vet.

    A picture would be nice.
    Check to see if the "thing" has legs, it could be a tick.
    In any case, tick or cyst, don't pull at it.
    IF it is a tick you can soak a cotton ball with dish soap.
    Hold it snugly over the tick for 30-45 seconds after washing around it with the cotton ball, the tick should release and come off or you can go have a vet or technician remove it at your vet clinic.
    Never just pull it off, it could result a nasty little infection at the site.
    Be aware also of tick borne illness, here is some info.
